Wonderful bios coupled with superb art & character designs, this thread is full of amazement!

thanks Jafari! it has really been a team effort! ICEMAN does colors so well, and bearshow, i mean, he is BEARSHOW! so i personally am so happy that those two guys believe in my vision for DoE, and shoot, even the few other guys (Nate and others) who have given their characters to the brand, knowing that we will take great care of them! DoE is here to stay! check out the bust that is being worked on!

Well, they technically have always been "forbidden". See, toy guru confirmed that with the contest. Everything not "created by mattel" or fan fic that has been seen prior to the contest is officially untouchable by them.

Those three creators have given their characters to me so that I can use them along with the handful of my own to create the world of Eden.

Old school People around here will always remember baeNa as a fan fic, but personally I've always thought the character deserved more than just some made up lore slightly connected to masters. Nate has been so encouraging about this project as well.

So suppose they were submitted to their contest yet have been seen on the forums before... where does that leave said characters?

Wow, so THAT'S what these guys are from, been seeing them all over the ORG...
As a recovering artist, I must say that I find the art beautifully executed, and the characters are all very striking and original! I can already, in my mind's eye, see how I'd make them out of existing stock!

3 characters Are from friends on the org. The rest are of my own creation I'm thankful that my friends gave me their characters because I feel like I can use them well

IT IS OFFICIAL! THERE WILL BE A DOE DRAWING CONTEST! Deadline is March 31st. ALL entries must be emailed to ideasfrommars@gmail.com

first place is $50. second is $30, and third is $20. if you have any questions let me know. the judges will be my 3 children, so do not hesitate if you do not consider yourself a great artist, because my kids will probably not judge it how people expect! Also, i encourage if you have kids, have them enter as well!! thanks everyone!

Techtrek, your designs (and the designs of the 3 gracious individuals who lent you characters) are amazing. I think every character you showed would certainly appeal to me in action form (especially Owlock- that guy is too cool). Great work and I'm eager to follow this project.

Thanks BBQ, Alot of the designs, well most were my sketches, which then were translated either by Dan Brenus, and/or CJ Edwards as we found a finished look for each character. We really love how things are coming together!
